Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3412468A1] Analysis of image data received from an image information output unit is executed (S1), and subsequently, whether or not a next dot upstream of and adjacent to a dot to be recorded in a conveyance direction has the same color as the dot to be recorded is checked (S2). If the colors of the dots change from that of a black dot to that of a white dot (Yes at S2 and Yes at S3), laser irradiation end timing for this black dot is made earlier than normal end timing (S4). If the colors of the dots change from that of a white dot to that of a black dot (Yes at S2 and No at S3), laser irradiation timing is made later than normal timing when that next black dot is recorded (S5).
